Winget failing in Powershell 7.2.6 #2520

Open wstr-ncrum opened 2 years ago

wstr-ncrum commented 2 years ago

Winget works with default powershell instance using 5.1 on Windows 10 professional. After installing powershell 7 I attempted running any commands including winget --version and they all fail with the same message as shown below.

edit: only happening in Admin launched prompts

I hate to ask, but did you try restarting the terminal and/or Windows? I'll try to reproduce this.

I just had PowerShell 5.1:

 denelon   ~    $PSVersionTable.PSVersion                                                   in pwsh at 08:28:43

I installed the latest version and restarted Windows Terminal:

PS C:\Users\denelon> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

winget worked:

PS C:\Users\denelon> winget -v

I did do a restart. Did you run the version as administrator as well. That seems to be the thing for me. If I launch Windows terminal as admin and use powershell 7 it doesn't work
